Not a Morning Foodie

Not into a big bacon and egg breakfast? The thought of granola and yogurt before 10am not appealing? Enter the myohealth smoothie. 

Get More Nutrients

A MyoHealth smoothie can be made with just protein powder and water but why not bump up the calcium by making it with milk (almond, rice, coconut or cows) and increasing the nutritional value by adding a variety of fruits, hemp seeds, greek yogurt or even greens like spinach or kale.

Fast & Great on the Go

Not only can you whip up a protein smoothie in under 5 minutes, you can even pack a small container of protein powder and a shaker cup when you are busy and need to eat on the go. Think hotel stays (avoid room service), long road trips or morning commute (no drive thru), post lunch hour workout  – all great opportunities for a protein smoothie that will fill you up and keep you going. Just add milk or water, shake and enjoy.

Freezer Friendly

All the ingredients you need for a quick morning smoothie can be found in your freezer. Frozen raspberries, strawberries, mango, pineapple, peaches and even kale and greens are being sold in chopped and frozen, ready for smoothies. You could freeze greek yogurt in cubes to add more protein and always toss ripening bananas in the freezer to have on hand for this Skinny Vanilla Bean Frosted Latte Protein Smoothie.

Excellent Between Meal Snack

Avoid the mid day vending machine visit at the office and plan ahead to have a protein smoothie instead. Pack a personal blender or take a travel pack of protein powder and an ice pack with a shaker cup full of milk. Get over 20 grams of hunger satisfying protein that will curb cravings and help you avoid the chips and chocolate bars between meals.

Help You Lose Weight

A MyoHealth  smoothie will keep you feeling full longer, avoid snacking and can help you lose weight. The key to healthy weight loss is too not cut back on nutrition as you cut calories and to lose the least amount of muscle while you are reducing body fat. 

Help Get Daily Protein Requirement

Do you know how much protein you need in day? As you age, you actually need to add more protein to your diet and studies show breakfast is a meal where we are often not getting enough Essential Amino Acids

Post Exercise Muscle Repair

MyoHealth  is considered “fast-acting” protein as your body can break it down and absorb the nutrients quickly. This is important after a workout that focuses on cardio or building strength as your muscles being to repair themselves. 

A Complete Protein

Amino acids are classified as essential and non-essential and while both types of amino acids are needed, there are 9 essential amino acids that must come from the food you eat as your body cannot make them. When all of these essential amino acids are present in a food, it is referred to as a complete protein. Animal based foods such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products are considered a complete protein as they contain all of the essential amino acids in one protein source that can be easily used by the body.
